Don't like those, too "racetrack" of a look

 

I prefer the RP03 and RP05 for Enkeis, although the color selectionis a bit limited, so if you want a gunmetalish color you're out of luck. Not to toot my own horn, but JIC Magic J-Force 05s look pretty damn cool

 

Those are very nice and glittering black is great - but I'm just not paying more then $200 per rim - I work too hard for my money to blow it on rims.

 

Look up rims for S197 mustangs then. They fit and are normally pretty cheap.

 

A month or two ago Fluid Motorsports had these on sale for $200/rim. A total steal! Got a time machine?

 

I like the boosts a lot and also the torque. Make sure whatever you do get a 8.5" or higher rim width. This is key

 

Why?

Actually I'd rather keep the 8" rim because I already have two sets of 225 tires ( stock summer tires and my all-seasons), plus 225 get better mpg ad I don't really race the car to be pursuing more max grip...

But I am going for 8.5" rim with 235 -I want that concave spoke look and more flush fit with the fenders. At the same time I don't want to mess with stock suspension geometry - the wider rim will distribute the tire closer to where it sits at 50mm stock offset.

(8.5-8") = 0.5" = 12.7mm, (12.7/2) = 6.35mm, so keeping same 225 tires, the position of the contact patch will be shifted out by (50-35-6.35) = 8.65mm, which is not perfect but not bad. And once I'll will switch to 235s down the line the difference will only be 3.65mm which is negligible all togather.

 

well I guess if you already have 225's an 8.5" would be perfect. My rims are 9.0" wide and stretching 235's

 

The winner:



would've gone for Rota Torques but couldn't find 8.5"with 35 offset

 

+1 on the FN01R-C's, I have em and they look real clean. Not to racey/ricey/show offy. Just right.

 

Good job! These are are much better choice than the Sport Tuning wheels you were considering.

 

Final result:



18x8.5 38mm offset HyperBlack

Thanks to all!
